I know some guys that go to weigh ins in tournaments that say they caught there fish on there sposors bait,but they really didn't. I personally think this is very wrong,(by lying)and I know a lot of people do it.what is your opinion.?

I think ts kind of bs, fishing as much as I do I see it all the time. I just say hey I tried catching them on the "A" but they just really wanted "B"...

Dont believe anything a fisherman tells you.

Just say you caught everything on a Dawia steez. Never know whos listening! ;-)

In all honesty I dont have that problem haha

I know it happens, I always try to take what they say at weigh in with a grain of salt

That's a bunch of bull,pay your bills by being a honest man that works hard for a living,that's my opinion.But I will respect yours just saying.

Most times the only time a fisherman is fibbing is when his mouth is moving----so if his mouth isn't moving you are OK; otherwise you are on your on!

Maybe you should take up golf---they may not fib as much.

And truthfully, I have fun EVERY day, and that is not a fib! But then again, I play golf AND fish.

Best advice I ever got was "Be happy why be anything ELSE?". Think about that, lot there.

Most people lie about what they caught em' on anyway.. I really don't agree to lying, but thats just the way it is...

We tell our prostaff to tell the truth,even if they catch them on a competitors products.

And this is new to you?

heck i will tell you if im catching them, or not even what im throwing during practice, you still dont know what the retrieve is or where im fishing it as far as flats points break bridges exc... A man is only as good as his word...

Buzzfrog you must have missed the sarcasm in my "posts" I personally dont fish with products that I dont believe in so why try to get them to sponsor me? The fact of the matter is like mentioned above fisherman lie! Ive heard stories from several people about this exact subject and some are more than suprising.

Here's the deal, sponsors are a vital part of an anglers success in the sport. They support you and want to see you succeed and they expect a little in return, plugging a competitors product is not helping them at all. This is what I call "product integrity"-fishing only products you truely believe in and think give you the best oppottunity to compete. For example I have a great relationship with Black Angel Jig company. I throw their jigs exclusively and I feel that these jigs give me a great opportunity to win, however if I were to use another jig (i wouldnt) I would just not make a comment on it. You dont have to lie, you just dont say anything, or dont drop a products name.

Cody you have posted twice and I totally think you are a good guy thanks man,I totally am the same way.why lie just live life honestly.
